Description of the invention (B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs [Field of invention] The present invention is related to-a type of heating and temperature preparation device: = :: 下 '所 _ 子 Related modern products, such as computers, computers, computers, and office machines, have a long standing standard in terms of function or appearance. Take printers as an example. Years of hard work printing = already = long needle type, black self-laser has progressed to color inkjet and color laser can be thousands of miles away. At present, the average home user, due to the lack of opportunities to print a large number of documents, When purchasing a printer, in order to balance the two phases of the print quality, the color inkjet printer is still selected as T. If the budget is sufficient, an additional black self-lemming material printer is added as a document list. For printing. The current printer market can be expected. According to the report, the competition is very fierce. Major manufacturers have racked their brains to research and develop better and more cost-effective models to attract consumers and increase the market. Occupancy rate, so how to make the product's To improve, it is the common effort of all R & D personnel. At present, most inkjet printers on the market use bubble or piezoelectric inkjet heads to spread the ink onto the paper to complete the printing work. For the bubble type As for the inkjet head, its main components include a heater, ink, and nozzles. The function of the heater is to heat the ink to generate bubbles, and gradually expand the bubbles to push the ink, and the squeezed ink is discharged through the nozzles. When it prints, it will form ink dots. When printing, you only need to control the ink density and thread size. The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 male # ^ A7. V. B7) Warm function 1 Mozuo drive circuit, the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the employee consumer cooperatives can print dots to combine many dots into the required text or graphics. The print quality of the printer is very direct with its resolution Relationship, the entry model of Megetsu's color inkjet printer. The resolution is about 720x720 dpi or 1440x720 dpi. The higher the resolution, the finer the dots, and the finer the dots, the more cohesiveness For example, if the amount of ink forming the ink dots is the same, the larger the cohesiveness of the ink dots, the smaller the outward expansion of the dots, and the more detailed the performance; on the contrary, the smaller the cohesiveness of the ink dots, the more outward The range of diffusion is also large, and the performance is rough. From this, we can know that the cohesion of the ink dot directly affects the print quality. In terms of general bubble-jet technology, if you want to drive a specific nozzle to make it eject The ink will first enable the heater corresponding to the nozzle to increase the temperature of the ink in the inkjet chamber to which the nozzle belongs to generate air bubbles. At this time, the viscosity of the ink will decrease as the temperature increases; Poor temperature control causes the ink to be overheated, which will cause the viscosity of the ink to be lower than normal, which will reduce the cohesion of the ink dots formed during printing and reduce the resolution. On the other hand, under normal conditions, heating In the case of ink, the temperature of the ink in the inkjet chamber will rise first, and then some of the thermal energy will be taken away by the ejected ink, which will cause the temperature of the ink in the inkjet chamber to drop. , That will cause the ink-jet ink indoor temperature is higher than expected, the ink viscosity is lower than the normal level. In addition, some of the nozzle holes frequently eject ink, so the ink temperature in the inkjet chamber is higher and the viscosity is lower; and other nozzle holes have not ejected ink for a long time, so the ink temperature in the inkjet chamber is lower and the viscosity is lower. Higher. All the above phenomena cause the ink viscosity to be unstable, which indirectly affects the print quality. Therefore, if (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page).

For example,' the selection and row selection signals are fed to the nozzle hole array 16 P, which can be turned on, and current flows through the resistor to cause ink to be ejected from the corresponding nozzle hole. By analogy, when the column selection signal x «and the row selection signal Y edge the human nozzle array 16, the transistor Qmn can be turned on, and the current flows through the resistance water to spray from the corresponding button. Therefore, according to the selection signal 14 Take the signal and the line to select the signal, you can accurately enable the nozzle holes corresponding to the signal to print the data. Please refer to Figure 3, which shows the nozzle holes 18 in Figure lb. Before and after the ink is ejected, The relationship between the nozzle hole temperature and time. Under normal circumstances, heating the ink will increase the temperature, and the ink will dissipate the heat after it is ejected from the nozzle hole. As a result, the temperature at the nozzle hole is reduced again, and the temperature change of the normal nozzle hole will approximate the solid line shown in the figure. Conversely, if abnormal conditions such as the nozzle hole blockage occur, the ink cannot be ejected from the nozzle hole, and naturally, the thermal energy cannot be dissipated. It is because the temperature drop at the nozzle hole is limited, and the temperature change of the abnormal nozzle hole will be approximated by the dotted line in the figure. From the first figure, it can be seen that in the traditional inkjet module 15, a heat around a part of the nozzle hole is used. The resistance is used as a temperature sensing device 17, and the thermal resistance of 479022 is printed by the Consumer Property Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to print the A7 B7 inkjet head drive circuit with temperature detection function. 5. Description of the invention) The resistance value changes to obtain the temperature of the nozzle hole. . The temperature measured in this way is the average temperature of some or all of the orifices, and it is not possible to obtain a single orifice temperature change. Therefore, even if the temperature of the ink rises due to abnormality in one or some nozzle holes, these structures still cannot accurately find the crux of the problem, and the effect of temperature compensation is extremely limited. [Objective and Summary of the Invention] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide an inkjet head drive circuit with a temperature detection function, which can measure the temperature change at each nozzle hole and learn the nozzle hole status. Another object of the present invention is to provide an inkjet head driving circuit with a temperature detection function, which can arbitrarily read the temperature at the nozzle hole or heat the nozzle hole without greatly changing the original design. According to the purpose of the present invention, a driving circuit for an inkjet head with a temperature detection function is provided. A temperature detector and a heater are provided at the nozzle holes to heat the ink to eject from the nozzle holes, and measure the nozzle holes. Temperature of the ink. These inkjet head drive circuits with temperature detection function read the nozzle temperature according to the selection signal, and heat the ink according to the selection signal and the temperature signal to avoid misprinting when reading the temperature. These inkjet head drive circuits with temperature detection function include a temperature detection module and a heating module. The temperature detection module is used to detect the nozzle temperature, and the heating module is used to heat the ink. The temperature detection module is composed of a temperature detector and a temperature detection gate. The temperature detector is located at the nozzle and can generate a temperature detection signal corresponding to the temperature of the nozzle. The temperature detection gate is coupled with the temperature detector and is elected. When the signal is fed into the temperature detection gate, the temperature detection signal will be detected. On the other hand, the heating module includes a heater and a temperature gate. The heater is installed at the nozzle to heat the paper. The standard of China (CNS) A4 is applicable.

Invention Note (丨 〇) 14 is fed into the nozzle array 560, and the temperature signal needs to be sent In order to print the job, the corresponding spray hole 18 can be heated according to the selection signal 14. In other words, the temperature signal Η is used to separate the two functions of heating the ink and reading the temperature. If the temperature signal Η is not fed, only the nozzle temperature is read according to the selection signal 14; when the signal 14 and When the temperature signal is fed in, the data is printed according to the selected signal 14. In this way, the heating module is not driven when reading the temperature, which may cause misprints. The structure of the orifice array 560 will be described in FIG. 6. After the temperature detection signal 580 is detected, it can be fed into the A / D converter 570, and the temperature data of the nozzle 18 is fed back to the control device 520 through analog / digital conversion, so as to facilitate the execution of the temperature control work. It should be noted that the selection signal 14 can be divided into two types. One is to use the column selection signal and the row selection signal to reduce the number of signals and simplify the circuit. This is the design method that is commonly used at present; Each unit in the nozzle array 560 is controlled by an independent selection signal, which is called a linear nozzle structure. These design methods will increase the number of signals and complicate the circuit, which has been rarely used at present. However, the architecture of the present invention can be applied to two different control methods at the same time, so the technical content will be described in detail in the following two examples. Example 1: Please refer to FIG. 6, which shows the control circuit diagram of the nozzle array 560 in FIG. 5. The nozzle array 560 is a two-dimensional array circuit of M × N, which is composed of M × N ink-jet head driving circuits 600 having a temperature detection function. Among them, each temperature-sensing inkjet head drive circuit 600 is compatible with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297mm) for this paper size (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) # Order-A7

Statement ((丨) One-to-one correspondence of nozzles with temperature detection function for one-to-one correspondence, and is coupled to the opposite column selection signal Xa and row selection signal Yb. In addition, each temperature detection function The inkjet head driving circuit 600 is also coupled to the temperature signal Η, and the printing timing is determined accordingly. In order to make the drawings interlaced, the details of the signal connection are not shown here in detail, but the detailed signal coupling method Please refer to FIG. 7 for a block diagram of the inkjet head driving circuit 600 with temperature detection function in FIG. 6. The inkjet head driving circuit 600 with debt temperature function includes The temperature detection module 610 and the heating module 650 are both coupled to the column selection signal Xa and the row selection signal Yb, but only the heating module 650 is coupled to the temperature-generating signal 以 避免 to avoid false driving when reading the temperature Heating module 650. First, the operation mechanism of the temperature detection module 610 will be described. Please refer to FIG. 8a. The 8a shows the circuit diagram of the temperature detection module 61 in FIG. 6, including the temperature detection device 615 and the detection device. The temperature gate 619, among which, the love temperature device 615 is used to detect the temperature of the nozzle hole 18 and correspondingly generate a Wen 4 Lu No. 580 ', and the temperature detection gate 619 is used to detect the debt temperature signal 580 according to the selection signal 14. The temperature detection device 615 is made of a constant voltage source Vcc bias resistor R and a resistor RT. It should be noted that , The resistance R is a constant resistance, the resistance value is fixed; and the resistance RT is a temperature-controlled resistance, the resistance value changes with temperature, such as thermistor (thermistor), etc. In practical applications, the thermistor RT can be placed in the spray hole 18 points are used as the temperature detector 41. When the temperature of the nozzle 18 rises by two, the resistance value of the thermistor RT decreases, so the voltage Vt is also lower after the partial pressure; otherwise, when the temperature of the nozzle 18 decreases, The resistance of the thermistor RT increases, so after the voltage is divided, the voltage Vt is also high. Therefore, the voltage VT can be used as the debt temperature signal 580, which can be described as a mechanism.
